    70 units.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The 4 sides of a rhombus are equal so each side has length 148 / 4

    = 37 units. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles so when we draw the 2 diagonals we have 4 congruent right-angled triangles.

    So consider one of these triangles:

    The hypotenuse is 37 units and one of the legs = 1/2 * 24 = 12 units (half of the diagonal of length 24).

    So the other leg is found using Pythagoras:

    x^2 = 37^2 - 12^2 = 1225

    x = 35.

    This is half of the other diagonal so the latter = 70 units.
